Round Top-Carmine Elementary

Summary:

Round Top-Carmine Elementary is a public elementary school serving 142 students in grades PK-6 in the Brenham Independent School District (ISD) in Round Top, Texas. The school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests.

One key differentiator is the school's student population, which has a much higher percentage of white students (69.72%) compared to nearby schools like Alton Elementary (41.97% white), Brenham Elementary (37.22% white), and Giddings Intermediate (31.45% white). Round Top-Carmine Elementary also boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8, and spends significantly more per student ($11,749) than nearby schools.

The school's consistent academic excellence is reflected in its strong performance on STAAR tests, with 78.95% of 5th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 53.96%. This high-quality education is likely driven by the district's significant investment in the school, as evidenced by the higher spending per student. However, the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of underperforming subgroups, such as Hispanic and special education students, to ensure all students are reaching their full potential.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
